About this campground

Upper Bobcat Campground

Upper Bobcat Campground is situated in the beautiful Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington. The campground offers stunning surrounding views of the dense forest, rocky cliffs, and serene streams. The area is abundant in wildlife, including deer, elk, and black bears.

There are several nearby points of interest, such as the Wind River Trail, which offers incredible hiking opportunities. The stunning Panther Creek Falls is just a short drive away, and visitors can take a dip in the refreshing waters of the river.

The campground offers several amenities, including picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets. There is no potable water available, so campers are advised to bring their own drinking water. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis, and there are 10 campsites available.

An interesting fact about the area is that it is home to the largest population of mountain goats in the state of Washington. Visitors may be lucky enough to spot these majestic creatures during their stay.

The best time of year to visit the Upper Bobcat Campground is during the summer months, from June to August, when the average temperatures range from the mid-70s during the day to the mid-40s at night.
